Partha Pratim in DreamWorks film

Majumder with director Lasse Hallström.

Partha Pratim Majumder, a master of the mime, has brought on yet more pride for Bangladesh, working in a film by DreamWorks, the brainchild of the iconic Steven Spielberg. Directed by Lasse Hallström and based on a novel by Richard C Morais, the film about two rival restaurants in France has Dame Helen Mirren in a leading role, along with Manish Dayal and Bollywood heavyweights Om Puri and Juhi Chawla. Partha Pratim Majumder informed that his job in the film was to recreate the body movements of Om Puri, except for the ones where Puri's face is recognisable. He added that it was a special experience for him to be part of such a film, for which he shot last November in Albi and Paris of France.
